current cataloguing system

A few people have mentioned the problem of Sony's "current cataloguing system."

It's the biggest frustration I have with using my PRS 505.

While I have about 1200 books, in three or four formats, on my hard drive, I only put about 50 at a time on my 2 gig card because I can't possible waste hours, if not days, sorting them into the "Collections." But they become lost without some kind of organization if I put on too many. I actaually want to buy an 8 gig card now on sale at Office Max, but why bother when I can't even get the mileage out of the 2 gigger....

Does anyone know a way or hack to just be able to copy and paste a Windows folder into the 505? I have all my books sorted on my hard drive in folders named as you'd expect: American Literature, English, French, Asian, Etc...

Lack of a decent cataloguing system really keeps me from putting all my books on the PRS 505 and, actually, from really get the most out of the device.

The Cabrile or whatever, has the same limitation. I've ALREADY sorted them on my hard drive. I just want a copy and paste!

Thanks for any suggestions!
